Mileage/Average/Fuel Economy(FE)

Yea! Lets talk about the USP of this car!! ITS Amazing Mileage!
Wats the Best/Worst Mielage and wat measures u take to reach there!!
Everything Else abt the Mileage Goes Here!


NOTE:- PLEASE DONT POST WAGUE FIGURES LIKE 25, 26, 30 KMPL IN CITY etc TAT YOU GET TO SEE ON THE METER AS YOUR MILEAGE OBTAINED AS THIS IS NOT WAT U GET, THIS IS JUST THE MILEAGE U CAN OBTAIN IF U KEEP DRIVING IN THE SAME MANNER AS U ARE, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE ANYWHERE IN INDIA RITE!! YOUR MILEAGE SHOULD BE CALCULATED ACCORDING TO THE KMS DONE IN A TANK FULL OF DIESEL/PETROL.

FOR EXAMPLE:- IF U DO 750 KMS TILL YOU REACH THE PETROL PUMP, AND WHEN U GET THE TANK FULL, IT TAKES N 45 LTS, IT MEANS U ARE GETTING A MILEAGE OF 16.66 KMPL.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. PLEASE USE THIS OR OTHER PRESCRIBED MANNER TO CALCULATE YOUR MILEAGE BEFORE POSTING IT

THANK YOU

An easy way:

Here is a simple way of estimating a car's mileage.

Full-to-Full:

1. Go to the filling station and fill the fuel tank completely. Completely means up to the brim!
   
2. As soon as you enter your car, note the odometer reading (kilometers done) before starting the engine. This reading is the starting point. If you have a tripmeter or two, you can reset it to read ‘zero.’
   
3. Use your car as you usually do.
   
4. Once your fuel gauge indicates a half- or quarter-full tank, visit a nearby filling station, preferably the same one you tanked up at the last time. This will help reduce the error.
   
5. Note down the quantity of fuel it takes to fill the tank up to the brim.
   
6. Note odometer reading once again. This is the end point.
   
7. Now calculate average/mileage/fuel economy of your car as the difference between the starting and end points in km divided by the amount of fuel required to fill the tank up at the end point, in litres, OR average fuel consumption = (end point – starting point) / Fuel quantity
   
8. Alternatively, divide the tripmeter’s reading by the number of litres of fuel required to top up the second time.
   

Note: You can carry out the same procedure once with the air-con on and a second time with it off, to calculate the effect the air-conditioner has on your car’s fuel consumption..

Very Elaborate!
Thanks Ezee!

Anyways i did 757 kms in 45 lts
16.82 only in Mumbai, i mean only in BAD city driving!! 50% AC usage!!

Dont forget to mention the model you own

32 km/ltr @ 60 km/hr speed
28-30 km/ltr @ 80 km/hr speed on highway

i dont belive this!!
PLESE READ THE EARLIER POSTS

Guys, what Saumil is suggesting is perfect and FYI dont just believe on readings you see in display, these readings are not as intellegent as you (believe me), follow manual as I've mentioned above to get correct readings.

For correct FE min 100 KM's drive suggested before you fillup tank again and also at petrol pump the nozzle should auto stop and should not try to fill max manually.

I have also checked frm filling in petrol pump, there is hardly any difference in mileage shown in dashboard and calculated manually. I did this when my logan's mileage came near 25 and same is coming by calculations.. Now mileage is less as AC is on.

absolutely unbelievable!!
Please post ur kms and lts

Well as i have posted before , i am getting between 18 - 19 km.

i drive around 790+ on a filling of 42 liters of super diesel fuel. i use only BP.

Dunno how others are gettting such high mileage of 21+ .

I never used the aircon,i don't drive above 80km speed
gear change ratio is as per manual,i don't take fast pick up or rev the car.

Service center people said to wait till 10,000 kms then the actual mileage will come.

790 on 42 Lts. is very Kewl Dushie !! is it only city or also Highway!???

I got about 660kms on 39 litres of diesel. Ive not yet finished 1500 kms but this run was 80% on good highways at constant 85-90kmph - the rest in chaotic traffic in Bangalore and Chennai. Never crossed 2200-2300rpm - mostly on 2000rpm. AC always on.

You guys think this avg of 16.92 is decent enough?

Tremendous!
Tell me 1 other Sedan tat reaches there!
not many small cars reach there either practically!!
Loganize bro!!

Brand New GLE 1.4 ... not reached 800km on odometer ... getting only 314km on 41 litres of fuel (only city driving + ac always on) works out to 7.5 - to 8 km per Litre ... I feel this is actually quite poor even for a new car. whats is everyone else experiencing?

Drive well brother! Read the forum for good driving techniques! avoid crossing the 2000 RPM mark and if possible also 60KMPH mark(this isnt necessary but would be good for your car in the long run).
Slower pickups would do a lot good too!!
u shud get abt 10 but also its a new car, give it some time! it'll deliver!! Though, dont expect miracles from a Petrol model!!

got the tank fill 46 liters and about to finish, this time i have constantly driven at 60km speed, only few times went a bit up to 70 odd,

my driving is around 30kms a day, where i have traffic only one way while coming back, while going not much gear shift as roads are empty early morning,

can people whose cars have crossed 10,000 kms tell wht mileage they are getting

Hey PPle!!
I came back from a picnic this monday. Had travelled in my Logan to Mahabaleshwar and other areas there!!
I got a tremendous Mileage of 23 with AC on 100%
I am Extremely happy about this machine !!

LOGANIZE!!!



And yeah Dushie! My car has done almost 11,000 Kms now!

we measure ours like this I use 7.5 ltrs to 100km which is good
I dont drive like a maniac I seldom drive over 135 ! OK next week i WILL BE HITTING THE 150s But I have a long journey in front of me
I drive from Germany through Holland through Belgium through France then onto the Eurotunnel train under the English Channel and then I have another journey of about 400km to my home on the east coast
I have done this now 3 times in a Logan and it is a nice drive
Stu

Have a good trip Stu ...

My logan already crossed 15000 kms, these days AC is on and mileage is around 24-25 kmpl, Earlier in winter I used to get 28-30 kmpl, so I thought to chk it once again. For some 60 kms, i switched off AC and drove with constant speed of 60-70, and avg came was +30 kmpl.
Mileage depends on your driving style, I drive smoothly, I know every speed breaker, and everything, I control my car without brakes. I stop accelerating and take away my leg frm accelerator, and let the speed go down to go frm speed breaker. Like this there is no fuel loss. When accelerating, I do not press accelerator hard, I accelerate with speed slowly, so that no extra fuel is wasted..[]

Hi all,

I bought my Logan DLS 1.5 (T.Red) on March 13th and have driven upto 2400 kms as of today. But I have noticed my car's fuel efficiency is only around 11-12 in city and 17-18 on highway. I keep switching the AC on and off during travel (roughly 50% usage of AC I guess). I got my first servicing done 2 weeks before. Logan sales rep had earlier told me that after the first servicing the fuel efficiency might improve. But I did not notice any improvement. By going through the posts in this forum, I am concerned. In the past I was using Toyota Corolla and I use to get the best mileage (much better than the company specification). Is there something wrong with my car? If not, what could be the reason for this low mileage?

Regards

Can we have a separate comparison for the 3 engines ie 1.4 Petrol / 1.6 Petrol / 1.5 Diesel ... it gets very depressing when I see the fantastic diesel figures u guys are getting!

Agree Tomlai. Any standard figures for petrol..I also get around 11-12 in city but with AC on always. My model is GLS 1.6...Other petrol loganizers pls share the model and mileage or tips how best to improve mileage of petrol vehicles...

Hi all,

Can somebody advise on my original question? I have a Logan DLS 1.5 (diesel) car and its current fuel efficiency is 11-12 in city and 17-18 on highway. AC is used intermittently (roughly 50% usage). I have driven for about 2500 kms as of today and 1st free car service is also done. Though the sales rep had assured me about rise in mileage after 1st service. i did not notice any evidence so far. I never cross 2500 rpm and never accelerate in a sporty manner neither I do excessive braking.

In this forum I could see mind blowing fuel economy statistics from various other diesel car owners. So I am slightly concerned and wanted to know is there any thing wrong with my car. Or what do I do to improve this?

Thanks in advance.

Ganesh,
Please dont go by the figures posted as not all (i think) are true. Many people go by the trip computer mileage and think of it as the final mileage which is far from true. Also, please note that a Diesel logan will give u about 11-15 in the city depending on YOUR DRIVING, ROADS AND ALSO THE TRAFFIC. Your car is giving you a decent highway mileage and city isnt very bad. I guess u just have to drive a little better!! Try goin to the highest possible gear fastest, in other words avoid much driving in lower gears. Try, and keep us posted!
